Title
Dale Co., sheriff, additional expense allowance and salary
Summary

HB414 would add a $15,000 annual expense allowance for the Dale County Sheriff and, after the current sheriff’s term ends, raise the sheriff’s salary by $15,000 per year, with the allowance ending when the salary increase starts.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, the Dale County Sheriff would receive a new $15,000 annual expense allowance, paid from the county’s general fund in monthly installments and eligible to be treated as retirement contributions. Starting after the incumbent sheriff’s term expires, the sheriff’s annual salary would be increased by $15,000 per year, payable monthly from the general fund; when this salary increase takes effect, the earlier expense allowance would become void. The act becomes law immediately after passage and governor’s approval, and the funds are drawn from the county general fund.

Who It Affects
  • Dale County Sheriff — eligible for a new $15,000 annual expense allowance; later eligible for a $15,000 annual salary increase after the current sheriff’s term ends
  • Dale County (general fund) — will fund the new expense allowance and the salary increase
Key Provisions
  • Section 1: Creates an additional $15,000 per year expense allowance for the Dale County Sheriff, payable from the county general fund in equal monthly installments; may be treated as retirement contributions.
  • Section 2: After the incumbent sheriff’s term ends, the sheriff’s annual salary increases by $15,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments from the general fund; Section 1 becomes void at that time.
  • Section 3: The act becomes effective immediately after passage and governor’s approval.
